Getting ugly looks when House of Cards gets disconnected on your BlackBerry even with 4G LTE? Trying to get a cell tower installed in your car? Well, just hold onto your phone (or tablet) and read about pCell, a new wireless technology that promises turn every phone into a miniature cell tower, delivering full 4G LTE data speeds regardless of how many other people are streaming Netflix next to you.

Though pCell technology is still in its infancy, if it is adopted, expect for all new phones to enjoy the maximum potential speed of an LTE network at your disposal. It’s something to look forward to! BlackBerry invested a good amount of money into Paratek for their antenna technology that showed up in the Z30 but hopefully more is coming even from the carriers. For now this seems to be a bit futuristic but one can hope.

Below is a video that shows how it works:
